Growing up in Germany, my initial exposure to Weleda products occurred rather early in life, and I’m now the Chief Pharmacist for Weleda North America. It probably comes as no surprise, then, that a more complementary approach to treating illness appealed to me from an early age. Working for Weleda seemed like a natural fit, and I have been with the company for nine years now. I find it quite rewarding to support a patient's natural healing forces with our homeopathic remedies rather than simply suppress symptoms, which represents the more conventional approach.

The raw materials we use in our compounding pharmacy in Palisades, NY, are a source of great pride for me and for Weleda. These tinctures come from Weleda's very own gardens; incidentally, Weleda Germany has one of the largest biodynamic gardens in all of Europe. I believe that the better the raw material, the better the remedy. Plus, pesticides are not conducive to anyone's health, and in the long run, their use is not sustainable.

Like several of my colleagues here at Weleda, I live in beautiful Nyack, NY. It’s a small village, and it’s possible to walk to the center of town, so it’s not a typical suburban setting where people are forced to use their cars to go anywhere. A small carbon footprint is something dear to my heart, so I drive around in my hybrid, and often use my bicycle to commute to the office. Mind you, I am a fair-weather rider. In January, you will not see me among the cycling “pros” who frequent Route 9W.

I purchased this cold cream as I get severe dry skin in the winter. No 'moisturizing oil, lotion, or cleanser' was potent enough to help my dry skin. Until I found this!!! Seriously tried all natural products/ brands under the sun- including josie maran, tarte, glamglow, first aid beauty, boscia, julique, nude. Literally you name it- I've tried it. This is the best thing you can apply for dry winter skin- I even use it for my hands. Thanks for making a product that does what it claims! I can now stop shopping around for a cure.

I got a sample of Weleda..I used it on my eczema and it worked and soothed immediately. I will never use anything else on my skin..I have since bought several bottles of Weleda..It's a miracle product!

I am not and do not have a baby, lol but I do have sensitive skin! I saw it in whole foods and it was fragrance free and made for sensitive skin so I picked it up! I love it! It doesn't break me out yet it is hydrating and feels amazing on skin. I wake up and my skin feels so soft but not oily. Also the purple packaging is really pretty! This is only 14$ where I live and a tube lasts me like 3 months! I would totally reccomend it. I have skin that is prone to small breakouts but nothing major. I also love the refining toner btw!
